US TARGETS OIL IN AFRICA
Africa has huge oil reserves, next to only the Middle East and South America, and is thus called "the second Gulf region". The proved oil reserves in Africa have increased from 58 billion barrels in 1984 to 112 billion barrels in 2004. Currently the daily oil production in the African continent exceeds eight million barrels, about 11 percent of the world's total. Experts predict, by 2010, Africa is expected to take up one fifth of the world's oil production. Its rich oil resources have become an indispensable chip of the United States in its global energy strategy.
As the world's largest petroleum consumer, the United States has always longed for diversified oil supplies, and Africa is one of the choices. But Africa was once snubbed by US diplomatic policies. After the "9.11" event, the Bush administration launched anti-terrorism operations, while on the other hand adjusting its Africa policy by acknowledging Africa's strategic value and using it to prop up US global strategy. The "National Security Strategy of the United States" published in 2003 set strengthening cooperation with African energy producers as an important way to "tighten US energy security". US crude oil imports from the African region had risen from seven percent in 1997 to fifteen percent of its total imports in 2003. The US National Intelligence Council predicts that, by 2015, twenty-five percent of US total oil imports will be from Africa.
As a result, ExxonMobil invested in an oil pipeline one thousand kilometers long to transport oil from Cameroon to the Atlantic coast, and Chevron will invest US$20 billion in the next five years to expand its production capability in Africa.
